So That’s How I Began! is a book to have on hand from the moment a child begins asking questions. It explains modern day families, body parts, natural and assisted conception, pregnancy and birth.
Presented in an age appropriate and matter of fact style, the book encourages all important conversation from an early age and is entirely flexible – read it from cover to cover or simply jump to the part relevant to the child’s question.
Wonderfully illustrated and written in a warm, relaxed and inclusive way and with positive messages throughout, this is a book that both child and adult will be comfortable to read over and over.
